Dahle earns California Farm Bureau endorsement for Assembly

» May 1, 2012 «

His ability to work effectively with others to accomplish public policy goals has helped Brian Dahle earn the California Farm Bureau Federation endorsement as he runs for state Assembly. Dahle seeks election in Assembly District 1, representing all or parts of Butte, Lassen, Modoc, Nevada, Placer, Plumas, Shasta and Siskiyou counties.

"Brian Dahle shares our goals for a balanced budget, the reform of overburdening regulations and economic freedom," California Farm Bureau President Paul Wenger said. "His extensive experience on land use, finance and conservancy issues, coupled with his knowledge of what our rural communities need, will make him an asset in the Legislature."

Dahle, a Republican from Bieber, has served four terms on the Lassen County Board of Supervisors. He farms more than 2,000 acres with his wife, Megan. The family also operates and manages a seed business and a nursery.

"Like many of us, Brian not only runs a successful farm and business, but also takes time to serve his community," Wenger said. "By taking on leadership roles, he is able to make a positive difference and ensure that others can continue to farm and run businesses in California."

A past chair and current board member of the Regional Council of Rural Counties, Dahle also serves on the California Sierra Nevada Conservancy and has assumed leadership roles with the National Association of Counties.

The California Farm Bureau Federation works to protect family farms and ranches on behalf of more than 74,000 members statewide and as part of a nationwide network of more than 6.2 million Farm Bureau members.
